Don't lie, you've wondered which states are Slytherins and which are Gryffindors. Now, we know, thanks to a new and very scientific survey from Time.

In this incredibly important piece of reporting, 600,000 takers of an online Sorting Hat quiz, which replicates the sentient head wear that tells students in the "Harry Potter" universe which dorm they should live in, also reported demographic information, like age, gender and location.

So which house were most Hoosiers placed into? Wily Slytherin? Nerdy Ravenclaw? Brave and insufferable Gryffindor? Nope. In completely unsurprising news, Hoosiers were salt-of-the-earth Hufflepuffs. Here's how the singing Sorting Hat describes the house's traits in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone":

"You might belong in Hufflepuff, where they are just and loyal, those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil."

The house is represented by a badger, which are both cute and able to seriously ruin your day.

So how did other states fare? Well, most of our Midwestern brethren were also good-natured Hufflepuffs. But keep your eye on the Southeast, where many states belong with the ambitious and mostly evil Slytherins. In the Northeast, you'll find bookish Ravenclaws, while those crazy Gryffindors live in wild states like Maine, California and Hawaii.

Most Americans fall into either Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, Time's research found, though young people are seriously over-represented in Slytherin, which says interesting things about the future.
